The Business Case for IBM i on IBM Power Systems

“More than any other platform available today, IBM i and Power Systems offer users the benefits of advanced technology while minimizing costs, complexities and risks1.”

IBM Power Systems

Lower Acquisition and Ongoing Costs

� Acquisition costs

– 18% less than x86 servers with Windows Server and SQL Server databases

– 43% less than x86 servers with Linux and Oracle databases

� Three-year ongoing costs – full time equivalent administrators

– 55% less than Windows / SQL Server

– 60% less than Linux / Oracle

ITG Management Brief: Value Proposition for IBM Power Systems Servers and IBM i - Minimizing Costs and Risks for Midsize Businesses; January 2011


IBM Power Systems

Acquisition Costs – Consider All the Variables

� Individually, x86 systems are less expensive than POWER7 systems

� However … there’s more to the story … the multiplier effect– Multiplication of x86 servers to handle database, application and Web serving

– Multiplication of x86 servers to support development, test and production instances

– Multiplication of x86 servers inflates software licensing costs

– Multiplication of x86 servers inflates support costs

� Costs escalate further with high-end versions of software

� Costs escalate further when incorporating other necessities– Tools for systems management, security and clustering

– Client Access Licenses (CALS) for Windows servers

� VMware, in practice, has been relegated to comparatively light-duty applications, limiting its effectiveness

IBM Power Systems

ITG Status Report – Key ObservationsIBM i and Power Systems combine to reduce cost and risk

Because of the highly integrated IBM i design, dedicated DBAs are not required in most midsize installations.

Experience among E1 users has shown that Power systems with i availability levels are typically higher – by wide margins –than for Windows and Linux servers.

Regarding availability risks:Regarding availability risks:

Staffing levels for equivalent E1 environments are routinely two to three times lower (for IBM i) than for Windows and Linux servers.

Regarding personnel:Regarding personnel:

In this area, differences between IBM i, Windows and Linux environments are not merely significant – they are dramatic. IBM i is one of the most secure operating systems in existence. Security violations are rare, and malware incidents are virtually unknown.

Regarding security and malware risks:Regarding security and malware risks:

Single Level StorageIntegrated, automated storage management


IBM Power Systems

Single Level Storage = Built-in Storage Management

� In IBM i, all storage is viewed as one large, contiguous, addressable space

� Storage management is integrated– Object/data placement is balanced

based on the performance, capacityand type of storage devices

– Storage may be dynamically and automatically rebalanced based onusage patterns

– Support for storage innovations, such asSolid State Drives, can be integrated intostorage management algorithms quickly

� IBM i clients typically do not requirestorage administrators

� Automated storage management simplifies operations and reduces costs

Objects are stored/retrieved by namewithout regard to physical location,

minimizing the need for administrators to manage storage infrastructure.

� A diversified bank holding company with HQ in Green Bay, Wisconsin

– More than 1 million customers

– 300 banking offices in WI, MN and IL

� Requirement to speed up I/O-intensive end-of-day and end-of-month processing workloads

� SSD support is built into IBM i– Frequently accessed data – auto move!

– High priority objects – auto place!

– Easily place DB2 tables on SSDs

� Associated Bank moved eight DB2 tables to SSDs and reduced runtime by 40%

“By adding SSDs to SAS drives, the time required to run our end-of-month batch processing workload could be reduced by 40 percent.”

Virtualization – By Design


IBM Power Systems

How Do You Define Virtualization?Hint – With IBM i, it’s about more than just virtual machines

� Typically, virtualization is associated withvirtual machines

– PowerVM or VMware, for example

– Multiple virtual machines on one physical server

– System resources are allocated to meet the needs of each virtual machine environment

– Consolidate servers, more fully utilize systems

� IBM i has virtualization technology built in– Subsystem architecture

– Efficiently coordinates work and resourcesin a single system image

– Promotes workload consolidation, which offersbenefits beyond mere server consolidation

– More fully utilizes a system, minimizing the requirement for virtual machines

ERP

CRM

HR

Web


IBM Power Systems

IBM i: Single Instance

IBM i Work Management – Virtual by DesignThe system coordinates work and resources through subsystems

� Subsystems– Pre-defined operating environments

• Memory pools are allocated

• Job/thread limits are defined

– Each operates independently

– Self-tuned and/or user-managed

– System-supplied and/or user-defined

� Advantages over Linux / Unix / Windows– Always there… not something to be added

– Better vertical scalability with less effort

– Higher system utilization by default

– Fewer system images to manage

– Less complexity

– Lower cost
